Are there any globes that ware especially good for introducing the
blind to continents and ocean basins?  This is in the context of an
intro physical geology course.  I hope this person will be able to
recognize continental outlines and the presence of mountain chains
and stable interiors.  I am going to demonstrate sea floor spreading
and subduction using table edges and newspaper (this might be
good for my sighted students,
too).--------------------------------------------
